Goat Smiles, art into a smiling Thank You card

Did you know that we have a goat farm? We do. Nigerian Dwarf Goats are just so awesome! Our heard has one buck and four females. We survived our last kidding seasons (baby goats) and milking (cheese making too!). A friend and artist, Adonna, created this sweet goat painting. She has prints made into cards for those of us with less wall space (or who love to send cheer and love in the mail). She also loves creating and stamping with us... so when she asked me to show some gratitude with her beautiful art.. I couldn't resist!

Our little farm.... with four does, one buck... this year we delivered our first kidding season of 5 sweet goat babies, we adopted them out, we milked and made cheese for the first time and then added two different goats to our herd. Our Nigerian Dwarf Goats (about 21" tall) are a fun dream come true!

I love that Adonna enjoyed painting such sweet little critters. Here our A Big Thank You looks so good in our fabulous, limited edition, In-Colors.

~ Stamp the Thanks, two part greeting, in the Blueberry Bushel ink.

~ Stamp the sweet heart in the Pineapple Punch in-color ink.

~ Picking like colors from her art, I love that it all comes together so well with our on-trend colors.

Joining forces to take her art, into a duplicated card, into a fun handmade look. Here with a smiling goat is the sweet smiling Thank You greeting. Check out their upcoming Art Show at Rustic Wood Accents (who did my custom 1850's Barn Wood 10' table for the revamped craft room - squeee!!). Take it to the next level and personalize something that means so much to you.

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
